Take a look at the Gameplay Release Window Trailer for Gothic 1 Remake, the classic action-adventure RPG remade for the modern era developed by Alkimia Interactive. Players will set out to the Valley of the Mines once more to explore a dramatic narrative, manifest ripples upon the world through actions, and dispatch enemies of all kinds and sizes. Graphical enhancements, performance improvements, and more features for modern hardware are implemented into Gothic 1 Remake, launching in Early 2026 for PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam). Fans of the classic versions can soon enjoy Gothic Classic, Gothic 2 Complete Classic, and Gothic 3 Classic on PlayStation and Xbox in 2026 as well.

I wanted to enjoy the demo, but I didn't. It is nice that they have a demo to check out. Give it a try on Steam.

I know nothing about the original so maybe I'm missing some element that doesn't show well but that footage was dreadful. Combat, graphics, sound design, everything looks fucking bad.

During the showcase they did something pretty smart, right after the OP trailer they immediately showed the trailer for Gothic Classic.



It was a good comparison that showed why the remake is the way that it is.

 

[Zathalus]

Hopefully the Gothic classic collection has the community patches included as well, especially for Gothic 3.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Man, after a few years of dev time since original demo, combat and animations still look pathetic at best

 

[Joe Cool]

There is a pointless vignette effect that is bugging the shit out of my eyes. PS5 player here.
I tried adjusting contrast, brightness, etc., to see if I could mitigate it but it's not helping much. Is this effect permanently part of the game?

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I gotta try the demo again. I tried a really early demo and thought the combat felt too clunky.

"I think the conversations, the script, the way it's written just feels really grounded and a bit dangerous at times as well. And I love that unpredictability, which is part of the reason why I'm playing the original. I'm loving it."

Really hope it turns out well. Gothic 1&2 were amazing at the time.

Gothic remake is now Embracer DEI Euroslop. They're censoring the females and turning them male. They might not even be sex slaves anymore. Their community hub is blowing up on Steam. Now Vera Dark and the roach king have spoken.

Took it off my wishlist and I was pretty much championing this game.
Always mentioned it as a 2026 game I'm looking forward to when no one else would mention it. Not anymore.

Dei is the prolapsed asshole of gaming

Not just in gaming.

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

Not just in gaming.

Well yea, but since I'm here referring mainly to gaming but yea

I'd rather get F'd by a predatory gacha mechanic rather than ugly DEI slop. at least with gacha you can still get beautiful character designs.

body positivity? more like bank account negativity for the devs

So you are saying that DEI Amerislop has now reached Europe?

 

[Labadal]

One of the original devs wasn't too pleased. Glad to see someone have the balls to speak up.

 

[Gonzito]

Is there a lore reason why the sex slaves have a bigger neck size than Mike Tyson?

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

So you are saying that DEI Amerislop has now reached Europe?

It's all the west and some of Japan. Only places avoiding it is mostly China, Korea, India, Eastern Europe. Further east of Germany apparently.

 

[TintoConCasera]

now reached Europe

It arrived here a long, long time ago I'm afraid.

I am pretty sure there will be no prostitutes anymore. You know....the beautiful spirit of modern "faithful remakes".

 

[mdkirby]

Someone on X made the really quite on point comparison that they have now made one of the women look like our prior PM, Rishi Sunak, but in a scraggly dress (ironically, im sure he'd have worn a much fancier dress), and now I can't un-see it.

They are "Onlyfans models" now
